NOW Foods Omega-7 Nutritional Oil - 60 Softgels

NOW Foods Omega-7 is a molecularly distilled fish oil with 26% Palmitoleic Acid, an Omega-7 fatty acid (FA) that is naturally found in a variety of plant seeds such as macademia nuts and sea buckthorn. It is also normally found in the skin, liver, and mucous membranes. Palmitoleic Acid is actively being studied for its role in glucose and liver fatty acid metabolism, as well as for its effects on pancreatic beta cell function. Its mechanism of action is different from that of omega-3 FA and it has been suggested that dietary Omega-7 may help to maintain the proper regulation of internally synthesized palmitoleic acid for fatty acid balance.

Looking back at the history of their company, they have made many commitments, including the commitment made by Elwood Richard in his health food store back in 1968 to offer their customers exceptional value. During this time, they have experienced tremendous growth and expansion. They have progressed from a family-run health food store to a leader in the nutritional supplement industry. They have fought for the rights of consumers to use dietary supplements. And through it all, they have never lost sight of their mission to provide value in products and services that empower people to lead healthier lives. But these are different times that we live in, and their industry is constantly being challenged. False media reports have consistently downplayed the value of dietary supplements, challenging their efficacy and safety.

NOW has, and will continue to be, committed to manufacturing quality products. This includes the utilization of current, cutting-edge science in the formulation of their products, strict scrutiny when choosing raw materials, advanced testing and validated methods development, and the employment of skilled, highly trained individuals who are passionate about fulfilling their mission. As a company, they are one of the most visible quality advocates in the natural products industry. In addition to assisting in the development of the Natural Products Association’s Standards Committee, they have initiated, promoted, and supported initiatives to validate the safety and benefit of nutritional supplements. NOW has a full-time truth advocate who responds to misleading science and media reports, as well as one of the most dedicated teams of Quality Control and Quality Assurance professionals in the industry. In short, you don’t have to look too far to see that they are committed to what they do. This is a commitment that grows daily, as they continue to understand the changing needs of those they serve.

NOW is also committed to social and environmental responsibility. They want to make their products affordable, but at the same time available to those who can’t afford them. Their partnership with charitable organizations, such as the Vitamin Angel Alliance, is a reflection of their commitment to make their products available to those who have the least amount of resources and the greatest need. NOW has also been recognized as a leader in environmental responsibility, as they continue to explore new ways to preserve their natural resources for future generations.

To ensure all products manufactured at NOW remain free of biological contaminants, various sites throughout their manufacturing plant are monitored regularly for the presence of unwanted microbes.

In addition to ensuring quality and safety, NOW’s microbiologists are also directly involved in the formulation of active bacteria products such as probiotics containing acidophilus.
